About Me

This weblog shows my collection of postcards with cinema buildings.
The cinema first visiting in my life was in Damascus. I saw there "Gulliver" with my father and sisters. My family was in Damascus because my father's favourite movie was "Der kleine Muck". My favourite movie is "Dead Man", I showed it many times in the 1990s in a little cinema called "Casablanca". And that's why I am working now as an accountant, looking for new adventures ...
